I don't know this comedian (the one she's talking about), but the casual way he talks about female comedians having a list of male comics to avoid is part of the problem. The question shouldn't be 'does this happen in other industries', but 'WTF, how do we stop this happening in ours?'

This vid is 2 minutes long but I want to tell you about one stand-up comedian and why he’s the reason it’s impossible to solve comedy’s #metoo problem. It’s a true story.

Die #ARD haben diesen Werbespot abgelehnt (!!) … ja richtig gelesen … wegen des Verdachts auf Greenwashing … WHAT?!? Dann lassen wir ihn halt HIER viral gehen! Auf geht’s 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Danke @glsbank.bsky.social, prokon, @ewsschoenau.bsky.social und natürlich @klimavoracht.bsky.social

Still a bit ill, so didn't go with my husband and MIL for lunch with SIL, but they brought me home a doggy bag. Our nephew is a chef, and helped his mum cook. First time I've had Schweinshaxe (cause it's so awkward to eat). It was DELICIOUS.

I think they might be against it somewhat.

Had to come and see it for myself. LEGENDARY.

Ok, can an American explain this to me? Don't you have some kind of council tax that pays for the local authority to illuminate and plough your streets? Or is this just for smaller streets?

I love my city, but it is absolutely ridiculous. For the curious, there are 24 houses on this alley but only 22 of us pay in every year. This neighbor is now in his mid 80s and has been doing this service for *decades.* He finally asked last year for someone else to take up the charge.

I actually cannot pick a favorite paragraph of this deliciously biting cybertruck obituary by @jessicagolds.bsky.social so do yourself a favor and just read the whole thing.

In Memoriam: The Cybertruck

In a week of bad news for Elon Musk, Tesla has decided to end production of its sometimes-dangerous, always-stupid homage to its CEO’s folly.

No disrespect for Maj. Breach, but with that name she has no business working in cybersecurity. It just looks bad!

I didn’t know that there were strict rules for walking a pet pig in the UK but I am grateful to the 3 Bean Salad podcast for alerting me (I don’t have a pet pig)

Interested to hear what academics think about this – my first impression was that three still seems a lot. I would be surprised to receive three (academic) blog submissions from one person in a year, and that’s a much lower bar.

American Journal of Political Science (AJPS)@ajpseditor.bsky.social · 5d ago

AJPS has introduced a new submission cap policy, effective today. Under the new policy, individuals may submit up to three manuscripts as an author or co-author in a 12-month period, with an option to request a waiver for a fourth submission. Read more: ajps.org/2026/11/04/n...

This is stunningly beautiful. 🥺

For Remembrance Sunday here is my Perhaps, to a beautiful text by Vera Brittain, writing about her fiancé who was killed in WWI. Perhaps one day the sun will shine again, And I shall see that still the skies are blue, And feel once more I do not live in vain, Although bereft of You.

I just came across the question "how would a blind person create their own alt text?" And it was in a discussion that had turned hostile so I'm not going to explain it there. But it's a more interesting question than the asker probably knew, so here goes.

Remind me to post the photo of my then 75-year-old mum in a blow-up turkey costume when Thanksgiving comes around.

Sounds like a mid–level manager on LinkedIn, written by Claude. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but Kushner doesn’t actually have an official job with the US government, right? This is like Andy Burham’s cousin putting out a statement on the UK government’s position.

Jorge Liboreiro@jorgeliboreiro.bsky.social · 3d ago

There is a lot to unpack in this tweet by Jared Kushner about the peace talks and the European security architecture. Read it.

They should ban him from driving for 5 years. Or make him go with ambulance teams when they attend traffic accidents caused by people speeding. Maybe then he’ll see the need for speeding cameras.

Andy Cox@andy-cox.bsky.social · 2d ago

33 times he targeted our safer roads team. Hiding. Filming. Harassing people doing a job that saves lives. Around 15 people died in speed-linked collisions in Northamptonshire last year. Every one a family shattered. He should feel ashamed. Thank you to our team. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Most recent weekend jaunt was to the town of Büdingen, one of the small number of German towns that retain an entire mediaeval city wall. The town grew up around Schloss Büdingen, which is still the residence of the Counts of Büdingen-Ysenburg.

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault. I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking. She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police. 🧵:

For all that Britain LOVES patting itself on the back about the Kindertransport, it should be remembered that British Jews had to pledge financial guarantees to get them in, & that what the policy did was effectively allow in Jewish children while (as it turned out) condemning their parents to die.

This is quite the story to tell about yourself.

Respect for the fallen as an advertising opportunity.

Oh. I didn't know this, but it makes sense ... #architecture

Please delete this. It’s misinformation. Please google live listen or go to Apple support. It is not listening to everything and sending transcriptions to Apple.

Re people freaking out over Apple’s Live Listen feature. I’ve known about this for years as I spotted it when I got my hearing aids. I’ve never used it, but can see when it could be useful.

max asher miller@maxashermiller.bsky.social · 2d ago

It's a disability feature for deaf people and doesn't leave your devices. This person is tech illiterate and saw words that scared them. I cannot believe I'm defending Apple right now but this is how disabled people lose access to features that help them which is the only good thing big tech does.

It’s not been released yet, but sci-fi movie Athos 2643 was filmed in our local church. The church was recently sold and is currently being transformed into a climbing wall. And Three Musketeers was filmed at Würzburg’s Residenz.

Richard Littler@richardlittler.bsky.social · 3d ago

What's the most famous film/TV location near to you? For me it's probably On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The scenes shot in Bern are quite close by, and the Piz Gloria/Lauterbrunnen scenes are a short-ish drive (& cable car) away.

#Ootd is this Dior's Virevolte wool tweed suit. In the fall/winter 1955 collection he introduced his "Y-line," which focused on the collar, neck, and shoulders while narrowing down to the torso and hips. Hence the jacket's tall, stiff collar and the dress' faux scarf. #Fashionhistory

To commemorate the death of the cybertruck, everyone should share their best cybertruck stories. Here’s mine:

I have boot room envy. And BBQ hut envy.

Dr Vanessa@hpsvanessa.bsky.social · 2d ago

I've been sharing odder stuff on the #Housegawp tag recently so let's go back to our roots: trying to find the best conference/writing retreat venue possible. I'll be out on the 'gin terrace'. Don't trip getting into the baths! www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/9...

in celebration of the end of an error, a shoutout to my friend @katie.bzky.team on the best cybertruck post ever made

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DUMPSTER I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING I HAD TRASH IN MY HAND THAT I WAS TAKING TOWARDS IT HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Meine Mutter hat minimum 10 Freundinnen names Margaret. Ich schlag ihr das vor.
